UGGs (written by Bear)


We went to the UGG factory in Fiji. At the UGG factory they make boots called UGGs. They can make a pair of boots in about twenty minutes. They are made out of merino sheep skin. The skins are soaked in salt water for one week so that the bad smell comes off the skins. They are good for cold weather. They started making them for fighter pilots in WWII to keep their feet warm. The name, UGG, comes from the initials of the creator which was U.G.G. I got the boots that are in the picture. And we got some little boots for my niece.
